Bit of an update,

Now sporting some White TE37's & a yellow canary on the window.

Went though regency a week ago completely standard ish...but didn’t pass because of window tint, GTR wheels with brand new tires & the zenon hid's which i thought were standard. Waiting till pay day to get new tires for my standard wheels then going to go back though, luckily a friend from high school has a 34 now too and she's offered for me to borrow her headlight to go to regency with.

After I’ve gotten of defect I need to ether get some longer wheel studs or 10mm spacers with longer studs what do you guys reckon? Also can any tell me where i got for logner wheel studs?

Update*

Soo anyways my bestmate ended up getting my car defected wile i had no license haha so been like 1 step forward 2 steps back but anyways all cleared now and cars completely standard & regency approved :(

but anyways that wasn't going to stay that way for long haha i ended up swapping the GTR wheels for a set of white TE37's with 'rad32' of here and yeah really happy with them. Put them on for the first time the other day and took some photos so here they are:

Fronts 18x8.5 +25ish Rears 18x9.5 +20ish

Fronts could maybe do with a 10mm spacer and some smaller tires, thinking 225's instead of the 235's

Rears im really happy with :(

I know about the mexican 4x4 lol the coilovers & exhaust should hopefully going in on saturday along with an HSK EVC 6 & display unit that i picked up yesterday. It wont be as low as the last time, going to raise it up to a legal-ish height i think :( and yeah think thats all i need to say atm

oh the bucket seats are now forsale $2250 $2250ono or swap for a full 25neo manual converstion heres the link:

awesome, so go the exhaust back on and along with that fitted up my new EVC and works good need to mount it properly n stuff yet but good for now lol anyways I took it for a test drive on 44KPA which is around 6PSI, it seams more responsive but its now hitting boost cut now under heavy acceleration. I thought standard was 7psi? i'v put my low boost on 44kpa & the high boost on 83kpa (12psi).

anybody got some suggestions?

thanks

Well i though to resolve the problem i had with the boost is to get a nistune remap & overall make the car run better so that’s going to Dex up at garage 7 early next week. So hopefully ill get some good power, iv never had any of my cars on the dyno so im rather excited. I would like to make around the 170-180 mark so fingers crossed a few people said i might not make that though cos its auto, is that true?

Also the exhaust is on now too so got the awesome RB grumble back along with coilovers and TE37’s are on too.

A few more little visual mods going on this month, my rays lock nuts got delivered this afternoon so they will get going on over the weekend along with hopefully a new vivagarage ducktail lip. But i didnt want to go the same way luke went with his 4door (as tough as it is!) so i went with something different. when it arrive from USA (taking a gamble here!) an evo style vortex generator. I don’t know how it will look because the 34’s roof is rather flat and long but we’ll see I’m pretty excited. Colour scheme: I’m thinking of doing them both in a glossy black or get them painted up the same as the car with pewter.

Up for subjections

I got one of the ducktail lips for mine, needed heaps of prep work and wasnt the best fit, gonna get a proper jap one i think.

thanks man, your the second person to have said something along the same lines so think ill get the origin one :banana:

I gave the skyline a bit of a wash n decided to take some new photos with the differnt wheels on the weekend so here they are :)

    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
    • Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
